"You need to be careful it doesn't become a batsman versus bowlers thing in the dressing room," Warne said during commentary on Sky.

"You want your batsmen to go and do the job ... to put in a good job in the field. And then have to... walk back out there a few hours later ... everything starts to hurt. It's realy hard now for the Australian bowlers, you've got to feel for them.

"(There can be) heated debate in the dressing room. It's important they try and stick together and it's a big test of character for this team."

Coach Darren Lehmann said his men would not divide under pressure.

"We all bowl together, we all bat together," he said.

"And as the 11 batters, we didn't do well enough. It's as simple as that."

Warne, the second highest wicket-taker of all time with 708 scalps, said it was an honour to be the 71st inductee into the hall of fame.

"To get voted by your peers, it's a very humbling experience to join some unbelieveable legends who were your heroes watching them," Warne said.

"So for me it's a big day, a proud day and just to be in there and thought of is pretty amazing."
